I was recently reading Leonard Hill's meteorological journal for East Bridgewater, Massachusetts, which extends from 1806-1869. One thing I found interesting was the observations from 1816.

Interesting observations: April 28 - "sun red"; April 29 - "sun red"; April 30 - "spots on the sun -- very red"; May 1 - "sun red"; May 5 - "sun red"; May 6 - "spots on sun";  May 18 - "sun red"; May 19 - "red spots on sun"; June 1 - "red sun"; June 21 - "spots on sun; sun red"; August 19 - "spots on sun"

We can also see the likely cause of the failed harvest. While the journal probably seems quite a bit colder to us, it looks like most of the weather wasn't too out of the ordinary for the journalist's time. An April with 4" of snow on April 12, that lingers for a few days, with some additional light snows on April 18 & 20, are described as "mild" and "little snow." But we see there was a heavy killing frost on June 10. Afterwards, it seems like crops were progressing okay, albeit perhaps a bit droughty, but in the end of September, a hard freeze struck before the crop was ready probably owing to having been replanted after the June frost?
